India has a special place at this year's Cannes film festival, having been named 'country of honour' at the Marche du Film, the business counterpart of the marquee event.
Showcasing the Indian film industry is a 11-member delegation, led by Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur.
Among its members is the effervescent Pooja Hegde.
Here she is on Day 2, enjoying sunny views of the French Riviera.
